A Guide To Event Lighting Rental North Haven

By Anita Ortega


Lights are something that can make all the difference to an event or a performance. A simple example of this is what happens before you watch a movie or a play. As the lights dim you know that the play, movie or previews are about to start. This is then the cue for people to be quiet and watch. At least that is how it is supposed to work in theory! If you are looking for effective lighting it is worth looking for event lighting rental North Haven.

Before you approach a company you need to think about the kind of lights you want. Strobe lights are often an effective tool in creating an exciting atmosphere. They are often particularly useful with rock concerts and other musical genres as they help to get people hyped up before the band or singer gets onto the stage.

Often the right use of lighting can get an audience excited. However with strobes it is important to be careful. Remember to clearly state on any literature that strobes will be used. This is because some people with photo sensitive epilepsy and other conditions can potentially have seizures due to how they respond to flashing lights. If you are in any doubt consult a health and safety professional before doing a show.

Lasers also add an extra bit of professionalism to a show. You do not necessarily need a lot of them but they can create some interesting effects. These may be a good rental option if you do not need to use them too often and then add them to your current setup.

Therefore renting is the best option. As with renting anything you have to be aware of what you are paying for. For example some companies may also include a technician to help set up the lighting before the event.

If you are a non profit company or you do not host events very often then it may not be cost effective to store lighting equipment that you are not using. The equipment could be kept in storage for long periods of time and may end up dusty or damaged through long periods of storage and not being properly used or maintained. Therefore renting is actually the more cost effective option in this instance. It is also useful if you need a specific type of light for an event that you are unlikely to use at other times. For example you may want lasers for a science fiction themed show.

Before contacting companies you should do your research. Think about the types of light you want and the effect they will create. You want to be sure that what you are getting is appropriate for what you want to do. A good way to do this is to look online for examples of similar events and pay attention to the type of lighting effects they use.

You can find a number of lighting rental firms in the North Haven CT local area. It is best to use your regular search engine in order to shop around and compare the different options available to you. Remember to check carefully. Low price quotes may hide hidden costs so if you are not sure it is important to ask what exactly you are paying for. With the right approach you will find the best options to suit your event.
